IACAPAP 2012
July 21 - 25, 2012
パリ , フランス
The 20th World IACAPAP Congress from July 21st to 25th 2012 in Paris promises to be a very unique experience for several reasons. The very first IACAPAP Congress held in 1937 was hosted in Paris with Georges Heuyer as Congress President. In IACAPAP’s history, Paris embodies a starting point for several decades of successful congresses around the world. A return to Paris in 2012 is a reminder of a little beginning which had been built up, nurtured and sustained by the vision, passion, sacrifice, unity and friendships among so many child and adolescent professionals who held the reins of this Association through the years.
The theme for this congress, ‘Brain, Mind and Development’, represents a shift in focus from ‘processes’ for child mental health advancement, which formed the basis of the themes for the last three congresses in the previous decade and the first in this one, to scientific advancement and breakthroughs that will lay the foundations for better understanding of and caring for the mental health problems of children in future. The theme for the 16th World Congress in 2004 was ‘facilitating pathways’, for the 17th World Congress in Melbourne in 2006, ‘nurturing diversity’, and for the 18th Congress in Istanbul in 2008, ‘Carrying Hope Between East and West for 3 C’s : Children, Cultures, Conflicts’. At the 19th Congress in Beijing in 2010, the theme was, “Improving Child Mental Health : Increasing Awareness and New Pathways for Care”. The theme for the Paris Congress represents a significant move away from ‘processes’ to ‘content’. Lest CAMH professionals in developing regions worry about their lack of tools for high-technology research involving genes and imaging techniques, an in-depth look at the theme provides opportunities for all to display their work, irrespective of region. What factors in our environments act as resilience or vulnerability factors for the developing child ? How do our diverse cultural practices impact the brain
